Southend Airport Transfers

Southend was established as a flying base as early as 1915 and during the World War I it was a hub for the RFC – Royal Flying Corps, the predecessor to the RAF – until 1919. In 1935 the site was bought by the council and save for it being requisitioned by the RAF during World War II, it has been a commercial airport ever since.
